Professional Protection Services in Colorado
Pilum Defense Agency is Colorado’s trusted provider of professional protection services, delivering armed security, executive protection, school security, and government-contracted solutions to clients across the Denver metro, Adams County, Lakewood, and throughout the state.
Founded by former U.S. Marine Corps and Navy SEAL combat veterans, and staffed by a team that is over 90% military or law enforcement veterans, Pilum brings elite-level discipline, tactical precision, and real-world crisis experience to every assignment. We are a GSA Schedule holder and a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), meaning government agencies can contract Pilum directly through simplified acquisition procedures.
From protecting over 18,000 students across 18 Colorado schools to providing armed plain-clothes security for elected State of Colorado officials, Pilum has a zero-incident track record in the most demanding environments our clients face.
Our Protection Services
Armed Security — Colorado
Pilum’s armed security officers are hand-selected professionals trained in threat detection, access control, perimeter patrol, and crisis response. We deploy armed security for corporate campuses, construction sites, critical infrastructure, government facilities, and high-risk personnel actions including workplace terminations. Available for short-term, long-term, and on-call assignments throughout Colorado.
Armed Security
Executive Protection — Denver & Colorado
Our executive protection teams provide discreet, tactical close protection for C-suite executives, elected officials, dignitaries, and high-profile individuals across Colorado and beyond. Every mission begins with an advance site assessment, itinerary risk evaluation, and a route security plan — because transportation is consistently the highest-vulnerability point in any protection detail.
Executive Protection
School Security — Colorado School Districts
Pilum currently protects over 18,000 students across 18 public schools in Colorado, including a proven partnership with the 27J School District. Our school security program includes armed officers, K-9 vapor wake firearm detection, active shooter response training, and campus threat assessments — all tailored specifically to each school's layout, population, and district requirements.

Advanced Security Planning & Risk Assessment
Every protection mission Pilum undertakes begins with intelligence-driven planning. Our team conducts pre-advance meetings, site advances, transportation vulnerability reviews, and full-spectrum threat assessments before a single officer is deployed. Preparation is what separates a deterrent from a response.

Why Colorado Organizations Choose Pilum
Pilum is not a staffing company placing warm bodies at a post. Every officer on a Pilum assignment has a military or law enforcement background, has completed site-specific training, and operates under a detailed post order aligned to client objectives. Our results reflect that standard:
- 90% reduction in police calls at VA facilities under Pilum's security management
- Zero active shooter incidents across all protected campuses
- Armed plain-clothes protection delivered for State of Colorado executive branch officials
- Investigative anti-money laundering support for the Colorado Department of Revenue's Marijuana Law Enforcement Division
When your personnel, property, or operations require protection, you need a partner with real-world experience in high-stakes environments.
